Twenty-five high school students living in Washtenaw County serve on Youth Council and award over $80,000 in grants each year to support youth programs and services throughout Washtenaw County.

Due to COVID-19, the Youth Council will be scaling back activities during the remainder of 2020 (and possibly into 2021). Site visits and group service projects will not be taking place and all meetings will be held via Zoom until further notice.

Membership applications are now closed.
